dagger

[milan]

was found in the Sava River in the northern part of the Republic of Serbska ex bosnia and herzegovina.
What is interesting in this is that the dagger is very old but is not covered with rust and handle is apparently made of gold,
on the handle is shown lion or a wolf on the back of a bull with big horns
Does anyone know anything about this kind of dagger
Today I add two pictures of Egyptian knives, to see and hear your opinions

While taking English is required in schools in many of the countries in Europe and elsewhere, that does not mean a person understands English quite well. In Germany, it is required that you take English (that's Oxford English not American English) from day one when they enter school until they finish the 13th Grade (yes, they go for 13 years before going onto a College or University) but since they do not use the language every single day, they may not understand certain words or quotes. For Milan, he probably has a fair knowledge of English but due to differences in uses of words, he likely has to rely on one or more of the many online Translators. You may know some or a lot of German but taking it in school and applying it in everyday use and context is totally different and then compound that with a dialect change for nearly every hundred miles you travel North or South in Germany and let's see you get by when conversing with someone there. And before you ask, yes I spent time in Germany, four years and 4 months to be exact with the U.S. Army and I met and knew a lot of German people as well as folks from many other countries during my travels when there and from spending a little time in Holland, Belgium and France.

It would truly be nice if everyone here could treat all others with respect and treat their' find(s) with respect! Unless someone has 100% proof that an item is not what a Poster states in a Thread or Post and can offer that proof, maybe they should keep their opinions to themselves. Even if they choose to reply, they should keep the sarcasm out of the reply and treat others as you would have them treat you!

Hi again Milan - Could you post a photo of your find from the side? Close up to the animals¬ more photos would be great.

It's such an unusual item- as much detail pictures as you can give would really help to identify it.

There's loads of people here, to help you find out what you have.

One more question - what makes you so sure the handle is gold?- could it be bronze?

Old bronze is better than gold.

Especially in Europe.

Great find whatever time its from- its a curiosity!

I'm not sure that is gold, I said it was probably made of gold this is just my opinion and I'm not an expert, and those people who were watched dagger they think it might be gold, but as I already said, people from the museum have no necessary funds to determine what kind of metal it is. and these days I'll take the dagger in the regular jewelry store, they can determine whether it is gold or not

MODs - sorry for this off topic but....

That is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. I guess the fact Scrappy couldn't go detecting & had to watch someone on Tnet get a good find whilst babysitting his mother-in-law was enough to push him over the edge! lol

Right over the edge. And she sits there and drinks all my beer

Why get the metal detecting DT's! If she is not too big, just load her and enough beer for both of you in a day pack and get out there and metal detect. Just don't wear that damn awful looking wig again, to avoid any weird looks from others!
